{{{{{1}}}|Default Under Specified Transaction}} — colloquially, “{{{{{1}}}|DUST}}” — is often confused with {{{{{1}}}|Cross Default}}. In fact, they’re meant to be mutually exclusive. That won’t stop folks conflating them, though. Look, we all do it.

{{{{{1}}}|DUST}} is like {{{{{1}}}|Cross Default}}, but where {{{{{1}}}|Cross Default}} references indebtedness owed to third parties, {{{{{1}}}|DUST}} is all about non-“borrowing” style transactions — e.g., swap agreements, stock loans[1] and repos, but only transactions between the two counterparties[2].

If a Counterparty[3] experiences an {{{{{1}}}|Event of Default}} under a swap agreement (or other “{{{{{1}}}|Specified Transaction}}”[4] with you, this will be an {{{{{1}}}|Event of Default}} under the ISDA Master Agreement.

  1. I know these sound like borrowing transactions, but they’re fully collateralised, and in fact aren’t.
  2. And — sigh — their Credit Support Providers and Specified Entities.
  3. Or — sigh — its Credit Support Provider or Specified Entity
  4. This is typically wide, though it excludes borrowed money — but check the Agreement!
